The secretary of the Chief Rabbi of Uzbekistan, Rabbi Dovid Abba Gurewitz and her mother were both found dead in their apartment a few hours ago in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan.
The President of the Federation of Jewish Communities of the Former Soviet Union, Mr. Lev Leviev has called on the local authorities to give this case top priority to find out what happened.
The victims are Karina Rivkah Laufer, 20, and her mother Svetlana. Karina takes part in the "Kochavim" project in the former Soviet Union funded by scholarships by Mr. Leviev for young Jewish youth who want to increase their knowledge in Jewish studies. The presentation of scholarships took place this evening in Tashkent and Karina was one of the recipients.
When she did not show upat the event members of the Jewish Community in Tashkent became very worried and called the police to investigate. The police came to the house and knocked on the door. When there was no response they broke down the door and found both mother and daughter dead.
